Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 17 ACMG points: 17P and 0B. PM1PM2PM5PP2PP3_ModeratePP5_Very_Strong
The NM_000487.6(ARSA):c.868C>T(p.Arg290Cys) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000682 in 1,612,944 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R290H) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 290 of the ARSA protein (p.Arg290Cys). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of ARSA-related conditions (PMID: 7866401, 16678723, 17560502, 19815439, 26462614). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. This variant is also known as p.Arg288Cys. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 3077). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt ARSA protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. This variant disrupts the p.Arg290 amino acid residue in ARSA. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with ARSA-related conditions (PMID: 10477432, 12809637, 16678723, 24001781, 26462614), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
